Love Dies But Money Lives

Three years after getting back together with Xavier, he cheated on me again.

With the same woman from three years ago.

When I ran into them at a restaurant, he lied and told me she was a client.

The next moment, he shielded her behind him, looking at me with wariness and alarm.

I knew what he feared—that I'd lose it again and hurt the woman he treasured most.

But I simply stepped forward, straightened his slightly disheveled tie, and said gently:

"Alright, I understand. Don't drink too much. Remember to use protection during sex."
